Best Western Parkland Inn Yorkton

Firstly, if you'd like to contact me while I'm away it's best to use my email that I'll be checking fairly regularly: jdn719@mail.usask.ca . You can comment on my blogs and pictures but it's better to email me directly. I'll be checking Facebook every so often too. Keep in mind, though, that I'll probably be pretty busy and immersed in life in Guatemala, so please don't inundate me with emails! Thanks. I've waited years for this. Patiently ...

I decided to hang out at Timmy's for a bit and ponder my options and the map. My phone had been dead for a few days and I had tried to contact Ryan (another cousin) but had no luck previously. I sat in the store tired and off in la la land. A kind old angel walked up and handed me 5 Tim Horton Dollars no questions asked and walked off. I couldn't believe, I nearly did a jig on the spot. A figurative tear dripped down my cheek and I rushed ...

... even exactly sure the exact distance today but we have been on the road for upwards of 14 hours. The exact color of my mothers hair has yet to be determined by myself. She has often referred to herself as the strawberry blond. Well, it might strawberry in color, but she certainly acted blond on a few moments today. My first bit of logic is that you DON'T joke around with people in customs. You just DON'T. When asked where were we from ...

... just the right time. We were flexible enough to wait it out and get a pretty good deal on the package. However, we still suffered through late nights spent looking through every site we could find, searching for the perfect package. The last two weeks have definitely prepared me for a nice seven day holiday spent laying on the beach and actually ...

... way. Not that Yorkton and Regina are NOT worth mentioning, but in this blog...well... So. My New Year's Resolution is to take a trip at least once a month to a new and exciting place. Okay, scrap the exciting part - because we all know that sometimes doesn't come with the territory. Let's just stick with 'new', meaning 'new to me', not 'new to you'. I wish I could say more, but there isn't any more to say.

... s hospitality while Elaine is working at BHP in Yellowknife. (Sorry Elaine!) anyway today I walked around the big city of Yorkton today and tonight I will be going for dinner to Dianne's house. Tomorrow at 5 p.m. I am taking the Greyhound to Saskatoon and will arrive at 9:30 p.m.

... an idiot. Just finish the race. If you finish nothing else in this world, at least finish that darn race, self." And I did finish the race, but with great effort and much procrastination. Such is the case when you haven't given yourself enough time to pace yourself. Do I run now, or walk? How long should I run before I walk? How long should I walk before I run? How red is my face and what place am I in? Am ...

... baywindow. A single table with china gingerly set up (it must be tea time), two old wooden chairs facing towards us as if to say 'won't you sit and rest for a moment?', simple wooden floors scrubbed clean of grime and dust and years of age. I just can't quite get the emotion onto paper, and probably I never will. Sometimes it's the buildings and the history closest to you that actually means the most. I guess this entry is a work in progress. Let me think on it, k?

... having faith. Saturday night Kyle will be playing bass guitar at Rainbow Hall. Rainbow Hall is a dance hall that is mainly used for polka fests and maybe a wedding here or there. The Hall is located near Esterhazy, Saskatchewan. Most likely i'll check it out for a bit, maybe bring a friend or two with me, who knows. Then Sunday we have our ball team's ...

... for Saskatchewan, a pamphlet on Things to See in Saskatchewan, and a Parks Guide for 2007. Obviously, living in Saskatchewan does NOT mean that I know everything about it. I require assistance in planning my visits as much as the next person. I decided on Katepwa Lake. Katepwa Lake is located in the Qu'Appelle Valley and is a very scenic drive. I also planned on going through Lebret again (we went there last summer) and ...
